MTL@OTT: Game recap | Preseason

KANATA – The Canadiens’ preseason wrapped up with a 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Center on Saturday.

However, the most important takeaway wasn’t the scoreline—it was that all 20 Montreal players finished the game healthy. On Friday, head coach Martin St-Louis emphasized the team’s health being the main concern heading into the final exhibition game; so, on that front, you could call Saturday a win for the group.

Christian Dvorak and Arber Xhekaj’s tallies were the lone source of offense for forest Canadiens, who ended an emotional preparatory calendar with a record of 2-4-0.
